*enormous sigh of relief*
Still have my fingers crossed for the rest of you!
And yes my confirmation also states Will Call... oh well lots of time to change that! WOOOOOOOOOT!!!
Not shenanigans. I'm not that type of person, so unless my friend got a ticket on a different card and is lying to me, there's something odd here. I would never intentionally mislead someone, that's just cruel and horrible, especially in this situation.bubbavic wrote:Shenanigans!!Finxiekins wrote:Well, just got another text from her that says that she did in fact register for a $240 ticket, but they charged her for a $390 one.

Sorry for the misleading info if it is indeed what she says. Hope I didn't get anyone too pumped, because I was as well. Boo.
Does your friend have her original email confirmation with the price? That might be decent proof it wasn't user error. My registration said what my top price was, and how many tickets I'd requested.Finxiekins wrote:Well, just got another text from her that says that she did in fact register for a $240 ticket, but they charged her for a $390 one.

At this point if it were me I guess I would just be glad I got one. Hopefully she can afford the $390 hit for $150 more than she was prepared to spend...Finxiekins wrote:Well, just got another text from her that says that she did in fact register for a $240 ticket, but they charged her for a $390 one.

Got it figured out! Turns out by some happy accident that we registered her for all tiers, so, she got a ticket at $390.

Your friend should contact the Org using the method in the email confirmation she receives.

My friend Hayley and I both got tickets! We registered for full price option and both got them at full price. I've heard they are awarding full price first. Feeling so excited and relieved! Not gonna lie, there were some tears of joy!!!!!!!!!! Now to start working today.

I thought it might be that. It's really easy to accidentally choose all tiers, but I didn't want to assume.Finxiekins wrote:

(It is indeed a happy accident. Tell her it actually increased her odds of getting tickets, being in all tiers!)

My Response wrote: I would send an email to the ticket folks. Include your original ticket confirmation email (it'll have what you were in for). How they've been handling it... if a name is drawn, tickets are fulfilled in the quantity that they've requested.
I've seen a couple cases of this not happening, and the ticket folks fixed it.

Her Response wrote:I sent an e-mail as soon as I saw the mistake. Even the confirmation from the original purchase request said one for $390 but there was nothing I could do to get it changed. But, I know, because I looked at it twice, that I put in for 2 at $240 before I submitted the request.

My vibes are all yours baby! You will get a ticket and i will see you the PLAYA!!!
For what it's worth, it was mentioned in this sub-forum multiple times. You will get the money back. But yeah, who wants to find out that you're getting charged overdraft fees...rubymermaid wrote:One tier 3 ticket confirmed @390
Nothing seems to be out of order. Wish they had warned us on that 1.01 account checking fee. I keep my checking account as low as possible. Was counting on 409 not 410.01. Worked out okay. Had the funds.
